LMAO.

This is one of those "Do I really have to explain this?" moments. I know you're dumber than a real dog, B, but see if you can keep up with this:

I suggested nobody should give this guy money for his legal defense fund. That's not the same as suggesting he's a con man lying about his health as Meade is suggesting. That's shitty on Meade's part when, as usual, he knows nothing. If I were saying, "Don't send this guy money for his medical bills" you might have a point. But you don't. Not terribly surprising.

But whatever, dog. Pick your allies. You think Meade's a great guy because the two of you like to engage in the occasional pseudo-libertarian circle jerk. And I'm a dick because you're easily ruffled and hold grudges. You're entitled to your opinion. It's not like I'm feeling sorry for myself that you're not inviting me over for the big game on Sunday. Being labeled an asshole by guys like you and Meade is pretty much one of life's great compliments.

So to clarify: Yes, I think Jeremy has acted like an asshole. And yes, I'm sorry that he's in poor health. I wouldn't expect a simple-minded conservative to understand such emotional complexity and I'm done "defending" myself, so if you want to keep quoting me out of context, knock yourself out.

Considering Jeremy Ryan has announced he’s a candidate for the State Assembly, the public deserves some transparency about how the PAC he runs spent the contributions it received and the citizens he aspires to represent deserve to know that he’s trustworthy and deserving of their votes, not just an individual looking for yet another helping of publicity to fuel his ego.

Can anyone explain how spending $2,289.94 on one trip to DC in October, 2011 for the Occupy protests is defending Wisconsin?

Supposedly Jeremy attended a Labor Day rally in Madison on Monday (9/3/12). How can this be based on his reported dire condition?

So every sick person who is going to die should be shut in some hospital wing and left to die? A real good personal friend just passed away from cancer. She learned she had 12 months at the most to live. She didn't go into her house and shutter herself away. She was cooking for friends and family 3 days before her death! She was entertaining when she had the strength and out and about!

I have to say, HawkHead has a good point here. Just because on Sunday Jeremy's right lung was out and he had only 60% of his failing left lung, doesn't mean, that on Monday, he should be hospitalized.

"My right lung is out left is at 60% and failing... Doctors said there is nothing they could do... Don't be sad though it was going to come one way or another and fairly soon... I'm going to go out at at home... No more suffering or pain... Hospice or hospital is no way to go... Thank you all for the time we had..."

So do you like - punch a time clock? Do you walk around the house thinking "ok, NOW what should I say back to them?" Do you take a break once in awhile and say "I'm not going to think about this for a few minutes..." Do you have to figure out how to get the kids off to school before sitting down at the computer?

What's it like being on the front line of whatever it is you think you are on the front line of?
